“I made up your P1800 kit and it worked, wow! After listening blind to a bunch of speaker demos on Youtube, all the ones I liked had a slow attack heavy magnet etc, so alnico celestions which are really expensive and then a reasonable price Eminance Patriot at a third the cost. “So to the

“I did my final testing this afternoon. It all looked good and plugged the amp in to play soon after. I’m really pleased with the results, the amp sounds superb. I’ve currently got it plugged in to a Marshall 4×12 but will be making a more portable 2×12 when time allows. “I love the cleaner

“I’’d just like to say thanks so much for providing us with a great kit to make an amp that sounds fantastic. I managed to build the amp itself in a couple of weekends thanks to the very clear online build guide. Testing the high voltages was a bit scary but I got through it

“Here’s a pic and demo of the pp-18 we just finished today… My friend Matt who helped build it has a photo gallery on Facebook that I’ll link to you once he’s finished it….this amp sounds amazing!!!!”

“Thanks for all, Here is a pic of the finish amp (sounds great). I made the cab myself.”

“My son and I built a PP18 at Christmas time, and it is superb. Mind you, we were amazed how loud it was (using 100dB/W Celestion G12 Anniversary speaker). We added the VVR kit to tame it a bit, and it is great. A photo is attached for your interest.”

“Well that was a piece of cake and I’ve never done anything like this before. The best I’ve done previously is to make some cross over components for speakers. Your plans are excellent. Well laid out and containing all I needed to do the job. “I have done a “stealth” install into a chassis where

“Just wanted to say you deserve every success. Your kit was excellent to make and you were a fantastic support throughout! My son enjoys playing through the amp – but occasionally, I have to plug back in myself because it sounds so good! “Oh and forget tolex, this one recycles the covering from a leather

“I finished the PP-18 a couple of months ago but have tweaked it a bit since then. I started a blog just the other day, giving some of the details. Feel free to include it on your site if you like – it might be helpful to others and I am more than happy to

“Just sending you a couple of pictures of my finished PP-18 amp. My cab is made out of plywood and I put a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker in it. The amp sound great!!!”

“Here’s the PP-18 I built about 18 months ago, finally finished in a mahogany cab with flame maple trim and a mahogany 2×12 built by Marc at Mongotone. The amp is defiantly one of the best I’’ve played, great tone and response, many thanks. “The speakers are Celestion g12 65’s. The story behind the mahogany

“I’ve just completed this and I have enjoyed every moment of building it, to the point now where I’m thinking about a Double Six now… immense fun. And to cap it all, it worked straight away. The continuity testing showed and issue with the ground on the power amp but that was the only thing

“I finally managed to convert my 1940s Bush DAC90 valve radio into a PP-18. It’s fair to say it was a bit of a squeeze! I added a resistive mixer input for my iPhone, so I can still use it as a radio/hifi. The VVR works a treat to make it usable as a radio.

“I attach a picture of my PP-18. I made the cabinet with is iroko and walnut front panel. It’s shellac polished.”

“Hello, the amp is working well about two weeks ago, the sound is awesome, I totally love it, and with my TS9 sounds incredible. I’m doing exams right now, but when I have a little time I will upload some vids in Youtube. “PS: all my friends love the plexi. Probably they (or maybe I)

“Here are some pics I took of my finished PP-18 amp. I had a blast building it and it was a lot easier than I thought considering I have never soldered before. The sound is amazing pure vintage Marshall tone, clear and articulate with sweet harmonic break up. “The cab was made with 19mm pine

“Just finished my build, and I am ecstatic! Awesome kit, won’t be the last, I already have friends asking for my services to put one together for them! “I used the amp at practice last night to rave reviews! Thanks again for supplying such a quality kit. I look forward to another build in the

“I got the PP-18 finally working properly. It’s better than I waited. Thank you! Few problems caused by manual switching V1. That was naturally my mistake. New glasses? “Best is its weight. I forgot to mention, that I wonder that there is no hum or other disorders. In that way it’s better than, for example,
